Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A mobile terminal, comprising: a display unit configured to display data; a window positioned over the display unit, the window comprising an optically transmittive material; at least one bent metal frame comprising a top plate portion coupled to an edge portion of a backside of the window and an accommodating part formed by at least two bends of the at least one bent metal frame; and a plastic frame combined via insert injection molding with a lateral side of the window and the at least one bent metal frame into a monolithic body, wherein the plastic frame forms a first part of an exterior of the mobile terminal, wherein the at least one bent metal frame is at least partially embedded within the plastic frame and is not exposed to an exterior of the mobile terminal, and wherein the accommodating part is configured to accommodate a portion of an injection molding material forming the plastic frame.

2

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein: the at least one bent metal frame further comprises at least one fixing hole in a portion bent away from the top plate portion; and a portion of the injection molding material forming the plastic frame is formed by penetrating the at least one fixing hole during the insert injection molding.

3

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising: a case comprising a metal material and configured to form a second part of the exterior of the mobile terminal, wherein the plastic frame is positioned between the window and the case.

4

4. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the top plate portion of the at least one bent metal frame is attached to the edge portion of the backside of the window via an adhesive agent.

5

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein at least one recess having a predetermined depth is formed in the top plate portion of the at least one bent metal frame.

6

6. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein at least one perforated hole is formed in the top plate portion of the at least one bent metal frame.

7

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the at least one bent metal frame further comprises a plurality of metal frames configured to be attached to left and right edges of the backside of the window.

8

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the bend of the at least one bent metal frame is positioned along the edge portion of the window.

9

9. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the top plate portion of the at least one bent metal frame projects outside one side of the window.

10

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising: a reinforcing frame made of a same metal as the at least one bent metal frame, at least one layer of the reinforcing frame stacked on the top plate portion of the at least one bent metal frame, wherein a topside of the reinforcing frame and the edge portion of the backside of the window are attached to each other via an adhesive agent.

11

11. A mobile terminal, comprising: a window comprising an optically transmittive material; at least one bent metal frame comprising a top plate portion coupled to a backside of the window and not exposed to an exterior of the mobile terminal; and a plastic frame attached to the at least one bent metal frame via an adhesive tape and coupled to a lateral side of the window, the plastic frame forming part of an exterior of the mobile terminal and comprising a ring-type projection projecting toward the at least one bent metal frame, wherein the at least one bent metal frame further comprises a locking hole configured to receive the projection of the plastic frame in a locking arrangement.

12

12. The mobile terminal of claim 11 , wherein the at least one bent metal frame further comprises at least one recess having a predetermined depth formed in a face of the at least one bent metal frame that is attached to the plastic frame.

13

13. The mobile terminal of claim 11 , wherein the at least one bent metal frame further comprises at least one perforated hole formed in a face of the at least one bent metal frame that is attached to the plastic frame.

14

14. The mobile terminal of claim 11 , wherein the plastic frame further comprises a case configured to form an exterior of the mobile terminal together with the window.

15

15. The mobile terminal of claim 11 , further comprising: a case comprising a metal material and configured to form an exterior of the mobile terminal, wherein the plastic frame is positioned between the window and the case.
